Blood tax

Chapter 313 It was I, Krista, who stole Griffith's first kiss!

Your Excellency, Guardian Knight, don't back down!Haranduil saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly stood up.Krista glanced at him.

【do you have any opinion? 】

The ranger captain immediately sat back and lowered his head to guide the ants on the ground to move things.

"Commander, let's also help the engineers build the bridge." Uruk came in from outside the tent, making a naive voice.Without waiting for Griffith to answer, Alyosha grabbed his ear and dragged him outside the tent, whispering, "Go, big stupid bear, I smell—

"The breath of war!"

The air in the tent was strangely quiet.

Christa came to Galatea.The bright eyes look at each other, and you can even see the tumbling thunderclouds, electric arcs, and hear the crackling explosions, making people think about the birth and destruction of the universe.

"Crack la la,

"Quack croak."

The two staring at each other with sour eyes turned their heads and saw Sonia took out a carrot out of nowhere and ate it.

She chewed slowly like a bunny, and ate the carrot piece by piece.Although she ate very delicately and elegantly, the crunchy vegetables still made a "quack, quack" sound.

"Sonia, why are you eating carrots?" Galadia asked.When she was at Homewards, the countess would often pick turnips and cauliflowers out of her bowl and serve them to Griffith at mealtimes.

"Because it's delicious." Sonia slowly ate the vegetables, the sweet curves of her cheeks were like round apples.

Seeing that she was almost finished eating, Miss Elf and Krista turned their heads and looked at each other again.Brewing for a while.Krista parted her cherry lips lightly: "Miss Elf..."

"Click, quack, quack."

After finishing the carrot, Sonia took out another cucumber from somewhere and ate it with the skin on.

"Miss Countess," Krista said weakly, "Eating cucumbers without peeling them will make them astringent."

"Quack croak." Sonia looked up, chewing like a hamster with stuffed cheeks, watching the girls and nodding.

……

In the morning, after the infantry unit assembled, they prepared rafts on the downstream bank, making a gesture of forcible crossing.

After receiving the order to attack, the infantry began to attack the ferry with the support of the only remaining light artillery to attract the attention of the enemy.All the cavalry units took the engineers and marched to the upper reaches to start the bridge.

As soon as the pontoon bridge was completed, Griffith, who couldn't wait, led the Storm Squadron to land first.They gathered on the shore in a formation like a sharp arrow, and launched an attack on the orc army who noticed the change and rushed to intercept it.

"Dense formation, assault!"

A throwing ax passed by his ear, and a thrown spear whistled mournfully.Griffith didn't have any fear at all, he pulled out the javelin on the side of the saddle with his backhand and threw it towards the army formation ahead, and then he was the first to rush into the enemy group.

"Shoot three rounds!"

Hallanduil stood on the other side of the river, feeling the rushing wind in his ears.The 210 archers around him jumped up from their hiding places, raised their bows and quickly shot three waves of arrows in 12 seconds.

Sharp arrows swept across the sky, drawing graceful and deadly arcs, and shot across the river to the army of the Clan Alliance.

As soon as the half-orc shieldmen raised their shields to defend against the other side of the river, the armored cavalry commanded by Griffith smashed their flanks.The flanked army was in disarray.The armored cavalry pierced through the defense line from west to east against the rain of arrows that might accidentally injure them.

"The shooting extended to the enemy's rear."

Following Harandir's order, the Ranger Squadron straddled the rear of the eastern defense line like a precise machine, dispersed the gun array there, and prepared for the charge of the armored cavalry.

For the first time, cavalrymen and rangers cooperated as skillfully as one person's left and right hands.Whenever Griffith defeated a phalanx, Haranduil's troops concentrated on attacking the enemy's reinforcements, and then armored cavalry, light cavalry, and dragoons regrouped behind Griffith's feathers and launched another attack. shock.

An army of more than 2000 orcs, trolls, and half-orcs was crushed in less than half an hour.They were defeated one by one by the river bank, and the defeated soldiers were chased by the cavalry, and fell in pieces in the bushes on the bank. The rest rushed along the river bank and dispersed the other troops.In the end, under the attack of the two squadrons, all the enemies lost their armor and armor, and they were defeated like an upturned carpet.

……

After defeating this enemy army, the defeated army crossed the river one after another.Griffith stayed on the shore with the Storm Squadron, standing behind the whole army like a rock in the torrent.

"Storm! Storm!"

"Beamon Hunter!"

Groups of people raised their banners and weapons to him and cheered enthusiastically.In the hearts of everyone fleeing for their lives, Griffith's status is close to that of Anjou's girl, and has become the core of turning the tide.

Griffith was in high spirits reviewing and revising maps, scouting the enemy, researching intelligence, collecting data, drawing up plans, issuing military orders, mobilizing nearby militias, contacting other retreating troops, bringing them together, arranging evacuation, supply and delivery. equipment.

As soon as he encountered a battle, he took turns leading the cavalry squad to attack. The cavalry in each battle was different, but he was always on the front line.

He is as calm as ice and as enthusiastic as fire. He has been busy since yesterday and has not rested until now.

After Kulala led the rear troops across the river, she pointed at the knight sincerely and said, "Griffith, go and have a rest, we will spare you a carriage to sleep for a while."

The already exhausted third-level assault squadron leader couldn't help showing yearning.However, he looked at the wide frame and found that even if one person lay next to him, two more people could sit on it. His face turned pale and he twitched.

……

The whole army arrived at a small town called Bearstone.The whole army is exhausted and must rest in the town tonight.

This area is already some distance away from the front line, but people are equally panicked.Many people were preparing to flee. After seeing the army with a fairly good mental outlook, the residents calmed down a lot.

"Griffith is like this. He and I dealt with goblins in the east. He set up the fortifications in the village alone, and led the militia to resist several times the enemy. After the militia collapsed, he guarded the intersection and killed all of them. The enemy saved the whole village," Galadia looked at Griffith busy in the small town with her bright eyes, and said to the exhausted people, "Don't worry, everyone, as long as he doesn't fall, we are safe of."

Indeed, everyone nodded.Although they suffered a big defeat, they withdrew more or less. On the way, more than 2000 enemies were eliminated and many prisoners were captured.The defeated soldiers from more than 100 different units all began to form an idea that as long as Griffith showed up, things would be better.

Krista took the topic: "I once fought with him in the East, even in the most desperate crisis, he can find a way forward."

Galadia and Krista glanced at each other.They walked very close, and Alyosha, who was closely behind, suddenly bristled, and hurriedly pulled Uruk away.

Galadia lightly held down her long hair blown by the autumn wind and said, "Griffith is already very tired, don't bother him later, let him rest for a while."

"There is still food to eat, I will let him eat a little before resting." Krista pulled out the honey biscuits like a magic trick, and said that she was about to go to the temporary headquarters.

Miss Elf stared at the biscuit, pursed her lips, and gritted her silver teeth.She opened the packet and took out the cocoa biscuits: "Honey biscuits are too sweet. Griffith likes cocoa biscuits the most. He even broke the two halves and licked them, like a little wild cat licking dried fish~"

As she spoke, she broke open the biscuit, gave half of it to Krista, and then... stretched out her small tongue, and licked the sweet cocoa sauce in a demonstrative way.

It's so cute!

Seeing this cute and seductive scene, Krista froze as if she had been hit on the head with a hammer. She took two bites of the cocoa biscuits and found that they were really delicious, and she even wanted to have some more.

"Is it delicious?" The elf looked at her with a smile.

"Well, it's delicious," Krista said after a long while of chest tightness.

"Guffy must like it."

The light and nimble Miss Elf almost fell off her horse.She tightened the rein and murmured: "Guffy, what is it..."

"Privately, that's what acquaintances would call him. It doesn't sound as vicious as Griffith," Krista stroked the blond hair hanging by her ears and looked forward, raised her head slightly, turned sideways, and chuckled Looking back at the elf, "Ah~ so you always called him Griffith, um, it is true that different races~
"differ greatly!"

"I, you, this..." Galadia felt as if a mountain was pressing on her heart, and she couldn't breathe heavily. She breathed rapidly and almost fainted.

They silently followed the group into the town.Griffith has already talked with the mayor in front to arrange camping and security.

"Miss Elf, can I have a word?" Krista looked at Galadia whose heart was about to split apart after being hit hard, and pointed to the nearby creek.

The two came there quietly.The clear stream reflected the moonlight and rippled with the arrival of the two.

Looking at the bewildered Galatea, Christa crossed her arms and tilted her head:

"As you can see, Griffith's past is mine!

"I came back here across life and death, so now Griffith is also mine!"

"..." Galadia, who had lost her ability to think and was about to resort to force, widened her eyes.After a while, she slowed down and shouted with baring teeth and claws: "You are dreaming!"

"His kisses and heart are mine!"

The girl of Anjou, the blessing of the Holy Light, the guardian of the faith laughed like a devil: "Haha! Long before I met you, it was I, Christa, who took away Griffith's first kiss! I didn't expect Well, didn't he tell you? Didn't he!"

The blow hit Galadia hard again, and her world was about to crumble.However, her strong will withstood the shock.Time spent with Griffith was not such an inconvenience.

"Hmph, just once~ Do you know where he will put his hand when he is kissing?"

The complacent Krista suddenly lost her voice. She thought hard and stammered and asked, "Yes, where will it be placed?"

Galadia leaned close to her small earlobe, and said in a low voice: "I fit his height very well. Every time, he will make irregular movements. If you don't stop him, he will follow my length." Sent here, hehe~"

This, this is so shameless!Krista pushed the elf away angrily, and ran to the headquarters, but was caught and pinned to the ground within a few steps.

"You, what are you going to do!?"

"You don't have to ask, Ge Fei is so lucky, of course I want him to rest on my lap tonight!" Krista yelled, trying to struggle out, and with a wave of her hand, her armored forearm knocked On Galadia's head.

This time there was a panicky muffled sound.Galadia covered her face and hummed twice.

"Yes, I'm sorry~" Krista felt uneasy and guilty, but she still gritted her teeth and added, "I'm a clergyman. I'm a very strong, delicate elf. Be careful."

"Hoho, is that so?" Galadia gently lowered her hand covering her face, the glimmer of the stream reflected in her eyes, "You don't know about Extraordinary with dual attributes, do you?"

Her left eye is turning a magnificent red.

Before Krista could react, Miss Elf swayed lightly, her astonishingly long legs swept by like a whirlwind, pinching Krista and throwing her to the ground, tightly entangled around her neck.

"Let go, let go!" Locked by these beautiful legs, the sudden suffocation almost made people faint.Christa's body was wrapped in light, and she broke free with her extraordinary ability and started to fight back.

The two wrestled on the grass by the river.They hit the grass from under the tree, rolled to the bank, and fell into the stream together.

There was a golden light shining on Krista's gauntlet, and she used her majestic momentum to set off waves like a city wall, pressing towards the elf's head and face.

Galadia immediately turned into a phantom, flickering between the woods and the stream.Her magnificent magic eyes burst into light, as if touching the secrets deep in life.

The moment she looked into the eyes of the demon, Krista immediately found that her whole body became dull.The dexterous elf is as uncapturable as Lin Feng.Krista was immediately suppressed, she couldn't catch up with the elf's movements, and couldn't avoid the smart attack, so she could only stand still and get beaten with her head in her arms.

Christa was beaten like a sandbag and had no power to fight back. She became more and more anxious and shouted: "Are you serious? It's so late, we will disturb Griffith's work and rest!"

Miss Elf stopped abruptly in the stream, thought for a while, then suddenly lifted her long hair and shook it lightly: "You really care about what he thinks of you!

"I don't need it, my fate and his are intertwined, and our hearts are connected.
"Ah~~~ You who were with him before, have already..."

"You!" Krista was half-dead from anger.

The last trace of restraint also turned into a high fighting spirit.

Huge spiritual fluctuations disturbed the night.Krista drew out the silver saber at her waist, and the blast spun on the blade.She held up her silver sword, and used her spiritual power to capture the hard-to-lock enemies: "Let you play tricks, you silly roe deer with pointed ears, accept the punishment!

"To the Promised Land (Arco-iris)!"

Galadia snorted softly.The moonlight and starlight fell, forming a starlight in her hand.Some kind of unknown high-level mysterious item was activated, tearing down the barrier between the world and the spirit world.

"I'm going to throw you, a little wild cat, into the spirit world, so that you can no longer pester Griffith. Where did you come from, where do you go back!"

"Liberate the seal in the name of Villanoy,

"To the Sea of ​​Stars (Hincitur ad astra)!"

The two brilliant forces collided with each other, and the sound in the air seemed to be swallowed up, falling into a suffocating tranquility, and even light and darkness were at a loss.Immediately afterwards, a nebula-like light appeared under the night sky.The silvery light dispels the night and illuminates the forest, valley and distant mountains like day.

……

"Batt, click."

The two girls returned to the town with their bodies wet. Griffith was checking the supplies on the town square, making various arrangements, and then handing them over to the officials and sergeants.

Galadia's boots were filled with water, and her wet shirt was stuck to her body.She felt uncomfortable all over, and sighed, "I'm going to take a shower and sleep. Really, I did a boring thing."

Christa stretched out her hand to her: "Thank you, the experience just now is very helpful to me, the spirit world can... Please express my gratitude to Ms. Aviana on my behalf."

The hands of the two girls touched lightly.

"Then I'm going to sleep," Miss Elf rubbed her dripping hair, "I'm so tired, Griffith must be tired tonight, I won't disturb him."

"Well, I agree. What he needs most now is sleep." Krista agreed heartily.

They let go of the turmoil in their hearts and stared at Griffith with trusting eyes.The quasi-knight who was dealing with camping and security work was serious, persistent and dedicated, and looked so trustworthy and reassuring that it even made the two girls realize how ridiculous it was that the quarrel just now might cause him trouble.

The girls watched him there taking care of everything, taking responsibility for everyone.

Finally, Griffith breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the mayor in a tone of restraint and urgency:

"Are there any whores in the town?"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of weapons behind him...
